<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">Please
excuse the long post but I think this topic deserves more discussion and

<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">With
lack, in most parts of the world, of regulation to move to IPv6, my
suggestion is to set some milestones that can measure how far content
providers and ISPs have come towards IPv6 and classify them publicly as such.
They start at Class 0 (if they did nothing so far, more below) and can
ultimately be, say, Class 5. Climbing up the class should be a natural
tendency, and a way to show-off IPv6
readiness.</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">Being
notified that one is Class 0 (after a grace period) may not be good news
for the ISP, but neither is the current situation with delays in IPv6
adoption. Notifying and/or listing of the ISPs of their Class level can
possibly be done by the RIR to help convince its customer base on moving to
v6.</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">This can
also solve another issue: IPv6 has been clearly defined, but the ISP path to
it (transition) has been left to interpretation and numerous RFCs.
Dual-stacking, translation (deprecated but still in action) and tunneling
(with at least 5 flavours) are all being used. As we will be in a
transition phase for many years, my impression is that ISPs and content
providers need a set of guidelines and milestones to follow to guide them
on the most appropriate standards-based transition path to
follow. Each Class can define a transition
milestone.</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">Suggested classifications can
be Class 0 for service providers which don't have an IPv6 address block.
Then to get to Class 1 one needs to reserve an IPv6 block and submit
an action plan for achieving a higher class, Class 2 means you have IPv6 Forum
ISP certification, etc. A good set of criteria for a Class 5 level
is at posted <A
